I'm not saying it's their job. I'm saying it's what they do.
I'm not saying it's their job. I'm saying it's what they do.You're saying that it's the job of colleges and universities to indoctrinate students to be good liberal progressives?
I scrolled through that shit site as much as possible as it kept relocating the center of the page and constant pop-up things...
PragerU has been lobbying red states for inclusion into the curriculum and finding some success in red states. This is concerning to all people who wish their kids receive an education in their school.
PragerU is not a university, it is a YouTube channel that pushes conservative propaganda. It has no place in the classroom, as an educational resource
Absolutely not it's typically dictated to them by the state.Teachers don't "decide what the curriculum is".
I am amazed by the thinking that kids can be kept from reality.I'm always impressed by the right-wing's determination that their kids lack the ability to think for themselves.
JSTOR is a horrible place to refer people to. I prefer to pirate stuff for free, but Bittorrent doesn't have John Lott's book. I found it free, online, though. You just have to sign in with a google account,Only the politically correct parts. The left believes in the discredited blank slate theory and does not believe in the heritability of IQ. That's why they are obsessed with controlling education.
John Lott found that the more totalitarian a government is, the more it spends on government schooling.
Slippery was part of it and abolitionist movement gravitated toward the Union. But most of this is tertiary.I was also taught that the civil war was over slavery. We were informed of the Mason Dixon line, the long standing and growing division between North and South over the expansion of slave states, John Brown the violent abolitionist, and the war and the emancipation of the slaves.
We were also taught slavery was wrong and cruel.
It was a standard fair for schools outside the South (mine being California).
You browse the web without uBlock Origin? I don't see ads, popups, popunders, no javascript nonsense, flashing tags or headers - none of that crap.I scrolled through that shit site as much as possible as it kept relocating the center of the page and constant pop-up things...
What are they doing that is conservative propaganda instead of teacher litmus tests or the times tables, for instance?
Nope, the absolute opposite. Schools have abandoned education in favor of indoctrination. Some even encourage their "students to not tell their parents about sex identity. Take a look at reports on students' performance on grade level testing; at many schools slim minorities meet or exceed expectations. But the CAN put condoms on bananas correctly, or remember their classmates "pronouns"/.

Ehh, Dennis Prager at least believes what he says. He's an old guy who has been conservative for a long time, and he presents a fairly standard conservative worldview (e.g. free markets, religion, skepticism of social change, a dim view of human nature). In contrast, Milo and Gavin come across as trolls and/or grifters.One could find more reliable sources than Prager for the conservative persepective.
Much like Republican college clubs, who bring in the likes of Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin McInnes to share the conservative perspective.
In my opinion NO student should EVER know your political leaning. You are not there to educate not to indoctrinate.

Establish a Free School system so you can take your kids out of any school you think isn't doing a good job for whatever reason.

Prager U is NOT legimate.
They're threatened by the idea that their ideas would be challenged...which makes you wonder how much confidence they had in their validity in the first place.
Many on the Right want to shelter their children from other points of view out of fear they will go their own way and figure things out the themselves.
Much like Right Wing media tells their viewers to avoid the MSM.
Probably your most brilliant post here ever!
Prager is low level stuff. I really hope people aren’t holding this up as any sort of “complete” or comprehensive lessons
Teaching isn’t a democracy. Never has been.Teachers are servants. They provide a service at the Public's behest. So therefore the public should decide what the curriculum is.
What’s a “free school system”?Establish a Free School system so you can take your kids out of any school you think isn't doing a good job for whatever reason.
And then what?kids just need the 3 R's, readin, ritin, and rithmatic. (taught to the tune of the hickory stick)
go Prager.
Dennis Prager
Broadcasting from his home station of KRLA in Los Angeles, the Dennis Prager Show is heard across the country. Everything in life – from politics to religion to relationships – is grist for Dennis’ mill. If it’s interesting, if it affects your life, then Denni560theanswer.com
It is interesting that this is happening in the States with the worst educated children in America.
Why the Red states take such pride in having poorly educated children is a mystery.
And then what?
Reading writing and arithmetic aren’t even getting you past the 3rd grade, let alone a job
What’s a “free school system”?
The tax payer, as always.Who is paying for the buildings? The curriculum? The infrastructure? The teachers? The books? The technology?
I was taught more along the lines of pray to god but row away from the rocks.train them at home and church, we don't need high paying jobs for the wealth of this world.
train your children to seek God's wealth in the Life to come.
.
Yeah, no thanks.

It is 2024.
Kids know WAY more than we give them credit for WAY earlier than we give them credit for in today’s world.
Whether or not parents want them to.
